Huey Lewis and The News!

Huey Lewis is by far the best rocker in this country's history! The best part is that he lives right here in Marin County, California. I drive by his house all the time! Huey combines a great mix of Rock and R&B that bands, I think, like Bruce Springsteen for instance, hail in comparison to. You really have to hear his music to believe what I'm saying. They are very happy, uplifting songs that are easy to get stuck in your head. And what's the best part of all? He was actually IN Back to the Future! That's right, aside from having two hit songs (The Power of Love and Back in Time) in the movie, Huey played the part of one of the "Battle of the Bands" judges in the first Back to the Future. You have to kind of squint and look real hard, but he's there. Huey's been in other movies as well, and in 2000, co-starred with Gweneth Paltrow in the hit movie, "Duets." It was an absolute blast to see him in so much of an acting role. He was pretty good, even though he's been quoted as saying, "My acting career is a lark." Huey Lewis has been continuously topping the adult contemporary charts and been a near-household name for almost 20 years. He truely is an inspiration to myself and others around the globe. WE LOVE YOU, HUEY!!!

This is a great song and I LOVE those shades!!

I've actually (not fomerly) met Huey Lewis - AT LEAST 3 TIMES! Twice were while I was bagging his groceries (I used to be a bagger at Woodland's Market in Kentfield, CA). I was far to nervous to say much, except for the usual - PAPER OR PLASTIC? And then another time was at ComputerWare on Fourth Street here in San Rafael. ComputerWare sells Macs and Mac products. NO PCs!!! HOORAYYYY!! EVIL PC's!!! Anyway, Huey and his son, Austin, were buying two iMacs. If my memory serves me correctly (this was over two years ago) he was buying an Orange and a Purple-colored iMac. I'll remember that experience forever! (NO, I AM NOT A DERANGED, OBSESSED FAN THAT NEEDS A LOCK OF HIS HAIR OR CLOTHING OR SOMETHING, BUT I JUST THINK HE RULES! IS THAT A CRIME?)
The album that made the band famous back in '83!

* Did you know Huey Lewis' REAL, FULL name is Hugh Anthony Craig III and he originally was in a band named "Clover"?

* Huey also scored a perfect 800 math score on his SAT's! (That's more than I can say for myself!)
OH YEAH! He's THAT famous!

They probably would have made a nice couple, don't you think?
Huey's hayday was throughout the 1980's, but in his 50s, he's still going strong! You gotta love those baby-boomers!
